It was a difficult situation to accept.

Why did the guild branch manager suddenly appear?

What on earth interests you?

“First of all··· let’s listen to the story.”

I can’t refuse it.

Because I don’t know what kind of disadvantages I might face.

Even if that weren’t the case, I was curious.

“As expected··· I see you’re interested.”

“I just thought it wouldn’t hurt to listen.”

“Good decision.”

Karen lifted her hand to her chin.

Thanks to this, the chest was naturally emphasized.

Gulp―

A clearly visible sternum.

The luscious chest created a beautiful valley.

Could this be an intentional seduction?

“I came here to ask a favor.”

““Please···?””

I looked at Navia.

Nabia wasn’t much different.

The opponent is the branch manager of the Adventurer’s Guild.

Although he may be less than a noble, he is still capable enough.

Why are you asking me for this?

“I don’t think you’re the type of person who would want to ask me for a favor.”

“Why do you think so?”

“···Well, it’s inefficient to ask low-level adventurers like me to do the work.”

“If you look at it normally, it would be like that. But··· I’ve become interested in it recently.”

Karen smiled at me.

It’s quite active for a simple expression of interest.

“Interest? That’s not worth it··· Ah···”

There is only one guess.

She must know that you came back alive from the dangerous dungeon.

But the question was not completely resolved.

“Is it because of what happened when you returned from the dungeon last time?”

“You could see that too.”

“That was just luck.”

“This isn’t a place you can come out of if you’re lucky.”

It was like he was piercing into my heart.

I wonder how much he knows.

“I came here in person because my interest has deepened.”

“It got darker···?”

“Have you been having trouble recently?”

It came to mind as soon as I asked.

The guys who just donated money to me.

It could be that he was just floating around, but he was watching me with a relaxed attitude.

“I don’t know.”

“···”

Nabija remained silent in response to my answer.

First of all, I think there is no need to say anything.

“Hehehe··· I understand wanting to hide it.”

“I’d like to hear why you’re so interested···”

“That’s right···”

Long, slender fingers touch her lips.

Karen slowly stroked her lips.

It was a leisurely yet somewhat strange hand movement.

“···”

“I don’t think Tristan’s companion is visible. Don’t you think that’s strange?”

“I don’t think it’s anything unusual. Maybe he’s with Tristan?”

“It clearly said that three people were going, but after looking into it, it looks like they were going alone?”

I think I know what you’re talking about.

Tristan must have decided to create an alibi.

“···So that has something to do with me?”

“The recent connection is with Glut and Navia.”

“That alone seems like a pretty insufficient basis for a request.”

“Is that so? I think it’s surprisingly enough. Since you’re the head of the branch, you have a good eye for people.”

I was already making a decision.

It’s hard to refute, because the guess was true.

The lame excuses were a minus.

“So you decided to ask me to report it in person too?”

“Yes. He seems like a pretty good guy. In my eyes.”

“So I’d like to hear what you want to ask me to do”

“If you hear it, you have to keep it a secret.”

“It’s a natural thing for an adventurer.”

Moreover, the opponent is the guild branch leader.

I don’t want to be one of those idiots who threatens my livelihood by telling secrets.

“I need help because there is a traitor.”

It was a rather indifferent voice.

I thought you were talking about breakfast menu

But it was definitely not something to be taken lightly.

“Traitor?”

“What do you think of me, Glut?”

“Yes···? Suddenly?”

“Tell me exactly what you see.”

Suddenly it was time for observation.

I have no idea what the intention is.

Anyway, I just look at Karen as I’m told.

Hair dyed bright red.

Beauty full of leisure.

What was before my eyes was a young, beautiful woman.

“Well··· I don’t know?”

“Maybe the answer you’re thinking of is correct.”

“A young and beautiful female adventurer···? Other than that···”

“Hehe···♥”

A smile spreads across Karen’s face.

As if I had guessed the correct answer.

“Did I get it right···?”

“You could say that. As you can see, I’ve reached an unusual position for my age. There are problems that come with that.”

“Ah···”

A young and beautiful woman occupied a high position.

Of course, there will be those who are jealous.

The traitor I just mentioned would also be in that context.

“I think I know why.”

“So I’m going to ask Glutton, what do you think?”

“It seems as if you’re only asking for favors from me.

Naturally, everyone’s gaze turned to Nabija.

“Ah···! I, I’m okay!”

“I know you two have overcome adversity… but can I borrow you for a moment?”

There was something subtle about what he said.

For a brief moment, it seemed like the two had something in common.

“···?”

“Let me talk to you two for a moment.”

Karen whispered in Navia’s ear.

I can’t even hear what’s being said.

It was difficult to even guess vaguely.

Just Nabiah’s face is turning red.

“Ugh··· That, that···”

Nabija nodded several times.

I can’t help but be curious about what they are affirming.

“Ah, I see···”

“Thank you. As expected of a nun, you have a big heart.”

“No, not really…nothing like that.”

Finally, unable to wait any longer, I asked a question.

“What were you two talking about?”

“It’s a secret···♥”

Karen just laughed lightly.

Nabiha has an embarrassed expression, so it’s not a good idea to ask.

I feel like I lost out by asking. My curiosity grew stronger.

“I want to hear it before I ask you a favor.”

“You’ll find out later naturally. So··· just hold on for now.”

There was no lie in his eyes.

I don’t think Nabi would have accepted a deal that was disadvantageous to me.

“First, let’s hear in detail about the quest… no, what the request is.”

“The traitor is the man who was the next branch manager.”

“I guess you feel like your seat has been taken away.”

“That’s what it is. So I’d like you to come with me.”

The opponent is young and female.

Some people may have their pride hurt.

Especially if you were the original planner.

“But··· I think it would be better to leave this kind of thing to Tristan.”

“He may be capable, but I didn’t think he was a trustworthy man.”

“I don’t think you have a bad eye. But it seems like you’re neglecting things too much.”

“As Glutto knows, that guy is good in terms of ability. The reality is that the guild can’t impose too many sanctions on him.”

I guess the branch manager is not incompetent.

It’s just that the circumstances aren’t favorable.

“So you’re asking me to do it, even though I may not be capable?”

“A man who survived a dangerous dungeon. And···A man who defeated the party that gained the most fame, wouldn’t he be worthy of being entrusted with this job?”

“···”

“It looks like there will be no objection.”

“I don’t think it’ll be meaningful even if I say it.”

Judgment and intuition.

They were all women who were better than me.

But it was still barely enough to be trusted.

“What if I don’t help you as much as you think?”

“Then I’ll have to suffer a little more. But if it’s the other way around… I’ll get a capable adventurer and a man at the same time.”

“I’m sure you have a solution. Okay. I’ll accept it.”

“Thank you for accepting. Then let’s talk in more detail.”

Anyway, it was an opportunity.

A chance to become a better adventurer.

There’s nothing wrong with looking good to the branch manager.

This is especially true if the subject is a beautiful woman.

“First, calculate what you ate and then go out···”

“I already paid it.”

“···Did you think it would turn out like this from the beginning?”

“Even if it was different from what I expected, I would have bought it···♥”

The relaxed and confident smile was beautiful.

Honestly, I started liking it a little more.

Of course, she was originally a beauty.

“···Thank you, Branch Manager.”

“You can call me comfortably. Then shall we go?”

The moment Karen took the lead and walked forward.

I swallowed my breath without realizing it.

“Huh···”

Tight fitting white pants.

This allowed us to deduce the outline of the buttocks.

Karen’s butt was amazingly large and beautiful.

Her leisurely and confident demeanor was something that no one could dare touch.

But that made me imagine something even stranger.

“Ah··· By the way, I like strong men. ”

What was the intention behind saying that?

This is a seriously questionable statement.
